It’s almost time to get together with your relatives and friends and head to the 35th annual Warren County Arts and Craft Show slated Nov. 19 and 20. The event, provided as a community service by employees at Union Planters Bank, will be held both Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. until 8:30 p.m. at the Civic Center auditorium.

“This is really going to be a great show,” said Glyna F. Lee, show coordinator. “Everything in the show is handmade and you’ll see great arts and crafts at great prices. I hope you can come.”

This spectacular extravaganza will permeate both upper and lower levels of the center. The 170 booths will feature such items as handmade clocks, stained glass, pottery, paintings, various kinds of jewelry, woodworking, toys, porcelain dolls, quilts, creative bird houses, Warren County molasses and Christmas decorations galore!

Admission is free. Visitors are invited to register at the Union Planters booth for a country ham to be given away daily, as well as many craft-style door prizes being awarded every hour. Shopping bags will be provided for the first 300 visitors each day.

In addition to the arts and crafts show, you will find great buys in the specialty shops, antique malls and various shopping districts in McMinnville.
